> True Story, very interesting...
>
> There was once a man who was an enemy to Islam. He had three famous
> questions that no person could answer. No Islamic scholar in Baghdad could
> answer his three questions...thus he made fun of Islam in public. He
> constantly ridiculed Islam and the Muslims. One day a small boy, who`s age
> was 10, came along and heard the man yelling and screaming at Muslims in
> the street. He was challenging people openly to answer the three questions.
>
> The boy stood quietly and watched. He then decided that he would challenge
> the man. He walked up and told the man, "I will accept your challenge".
>
> The man laughed at the boy and ridiculed the Muslims even more by saying,
> "A ten year old boy challenges me. Is this all you people have to offer!"
>
> But the boy patiently reiterated his stance. He would challenge the man,
> and with Allah`s help and guidance, he would put this to an end. The man
> finally accepted.
>
> The entire city gathered around a small "hill" where open addresses were
> usually made. The man climbed to the top, and in a loud voice asked his
> first question.
>
> "What is your God doing right now?"
>
> The small boy thought for a little while and then told the man to climb
> down the hill and to allow him to go up in order to address the question.
>
> The man says "What? You want me to come down?"
>
> The boy says, "Yes. I need to reply, right?"
>
> The man made his way down and the small boy, age 10, with his little feet
> made his way up.
>
> This small child`s reply was "Oh Allah Almighty! You be my witness in
> front of all these people. You have just willed that a Kafir be brought
> down to a low level, and that a Muslim be brought to a high level!"
>
> The crowd cheered and screamed "Takbir"...."Allah-hu-akbar!!!"
>
> The man was humiliated, but he boldly asked his Second question... "What
> existed before your God?"
>
> The small child thought and thought.
>
> Then he asked the man to count backwards. "Count from 10 backwards."
>
> The man counted..."10, 9 ,8 , 7 , 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,0"
>
> The boy asked, "What comes before 0 ?"
>
> The man: "I don`t know...nothing."
>
> The boy: "Exactly. Nothing was before Allah, for He is eternal and
> absolute."
>
> The crowd cheered again...."Takbir!"...."Allah-hu-akbar!!!!"
>
> The man, now completely frustrated, asked his final question. "In which
> direction is your Allah facing?"
>
> The boy thought and thought.
>
> He then asked for a candle. A candle was brought to him. The blessed child
> handed it to the man and asked him to light it.
>
> The man did so and remarked, "What is this supposed to prove?"
>
> The young boy asked, "In which direction is light from the candle going?"
>
> The man responded, "It is going in all directions."
>
> The boy: "You have answered your own question. Allah`s light (noor) goes
> in all directions. He is everywhere. There is no where that He cannot be
> found.
>
> "The crowd cheered again...."Takbir!"...."Allah-hu-akbar!!!"
>
> The man was so impressed and so moved by the boy`s knowledge and
> spirituality, that he embraced Islam and became a student of the young boy.
>
> So ended the debate.
>
> Who was the young boy?
>
> The young boy was one of our leaders and one of the greatest scholars,
> Imam Abu Hanîfa (May Allah bless him).
